6) Paul McCartney is today perhaps the most "well-known" case of alleged celebrity imposter fraud, although most people still have heard little-to-nothing of the rumor and supporting facts, beyond the "Paul is Dead" legend and maybe a few album clues.The general possibility of celebrity doubles and imposters seems a fantastic, unlikely story to most, mainly because of the necessary collusion/collaboration on the part of governments, police, media, the press, academics, family and friends, "the powers that be" etc. that would be required for such hoaxes to go on without being exposed. In other words, it implies that the public is being lied to in an extremely large and "Orwellian" manner, on a daily basis.

*******

Please add anything to this list that you feel that I've missed or needs correction.

A smoking gun for the world: "Faul" the McCartney Imposter caught on film unawares with his fake plastic ear missing a piece.

The drummer, to whom Faul signals at the opening and bows to at the close, is Pan, often used to symbolically depict Satan, and there are dual iron Pan faces at the entrance of the Dakota.

Satan/Pan is wearing the same black with stars and moons? design on his shirt that Hitler keyboardist has on his tie.

John and Yoko are Buddy Holly and Yoko: John would be publicly shot at the Dakota later that year "fade away" as the Coming up lyrics say. The Buddy Holly figure also resembles the original look of Charlie Brill, who impostered John Lennon in the 1967-1980 Yoko Ono team-up years.

The horn section before Satan/Pan represents the Bonzo Dog Band and the pipes and horns (of the head) of Satan/Pan. Faul also impostered Vivian Stanshall of the Bonzo Dog so this is also a tribute to that fraud role.

Faul's rose (favorite flower of Hitler) or red carnation (pun on "incarnation"?) is upside down, signifying the whole thing is wrong. Also suggests his wrong black lapel flower in MMT.

Charlie Brill 1964

Looking at internet/youtube comments, one sees that people are mystified by the drummer. Mick Fleetwood and Ginger Baker (drummer for "Cream" with Eric Clapton) have been mentioned as being the identity. But in fact the drummer doesn't particularly look like either of them, or any other celebrity. He looks like Pan/Satan with McCartney-esque eyes. Another clue may be the camera cutting to the drummer when Faul sings "I say" (Satan)....

The thin mustache man played by Linda (?) half in a dark suit and half in a white medical lab coat, below "Ron Mael from Sparks" Adolph Hitler: possibly meant to be William Patrick Hitler, Adolph's nephew born and raised in Liverpool, who moved to the USA (Long Island, NY) in 1939, gave speeches against his uncle, and joined the US Navy as a military medic in 1944 at age 32. Here he is in the US in 1939:

I discovered that the white stone bust of an unnamed young man on the Sgt. Pepper cover is that of William Patrick Hitler, and first posted that information in the NIR forum.

I first suggested that one of the Bob Dylan imposters may have been a woman, with voice overdubbed (in 1969, for example in the Johnny Cash-Fob Fylan TV show videos). Then a year later a movie come's out with Cate Blanchett playing one of the multiple "Bob Dylan" characters.

Dylan had an unusually small and thin physique; maybe easier to find a woman who could fill this requirement.

About Cate Blanchett, this interesting sync from wikipedia article about former SOE heroine Pearl Witherington (allegedly the McCartney imposter, I noticed that she also looks like ERIC IDLE!)---

Private lifeIn September 1944, Witherington returned to England where she married Henri Cornioley in Kensington Register Office on 26 October 1944; they had a daughter, Claire.

With the help of journalist Hervé Larroque, Witherington's autobiography, Pauline, was published in 1997 (ISBN 978-2-9513746-0-7). Much of her wartime service is also included in the book Behind Enemy Lines with the SAS (published in 2007 by Pen and Sword Publ., England).

Her story is said to have been the inspiration for the Sebastian Faulks novel Charlotte Gray which was made into a film starring Cate Blanchett in 2001,[2] although Faulks denied this in an interview with The Guardian.[8]

...........

I guess "the musical Monty Python" Eric Idle (Rutle Paul character Dirk McQuickly (styled after Paul McCartney) -- played by Eric Idle) is Pearl Witherington's son, so he is the son of Beatle Faul, now isn't that funny ("I want to be called Loretta") ..........

Here come ole flattop

Also reminds me of Margaret Hamilton, the Wicked Witch of the West in the Wizard of Oz, a film with many Crowley-Beatles-links.

MMT comics panel: "Thinks I AM the Driverr/ Thought I WAS the Courier"

From the "Spartacus School" web site on PEARL WITHERINGTON:

Her commander recalls: 'She used to say, "I don't think it's very nice to go into a restaurant on my own." She'd come into France on her own, but didn't think it was nice to go into a restaurant on her own!'

Pearl came from Hertfordshire but was working in Paris. She and her family escaped in 1941 with help from the resistance, and she started work as a secretary in the Air Ministry.

Bored with office work, she signed up as a FANY. After training she was sent to the southern Loire. When the organiser was arrested and sent to Buchenwald concentration camp, Pearl took over the command of the Wrestler network and built it up to over 2,000 men who she trained and armed. Her group held off 2,500 German troops with 150 men. Pearl escaped through a cornfield.

In June 1944, her network cut the railway line to Paris 800 times. She became so important, the Germans put up posters offering 1 million francs for her capture.

'When we got back to London all the heads of circuits were there; they were all men, and I was the only woman. The head of it all said "Gentlemen!" And he turned to me and said: "That applies to you, because you've done a man's job!" I'm the only woman who's ever done such a thing: going from a courier to military commander!'

Others were not so keen to recognise her achievement. She was recommended for the Military Cross but, as a woman, was not allowed to receive it. She was awarded a civilian MBE that she returned because she had done nothing as a civilian. 'Why should secret agents who risked their lives be treated like someone who sat behind a desk during the war?'

That video was very interesting. I was wondering if Al Capp's comment might've been a jab at John's switch of allegiance from England to the USA ?!

Or one could also take it as a further attack-remark by Capp against Yoko as a non-Englishman fifth beatle who is a male "guy/fellow." But the way he says it, in context, makes the most sense as a sly Brill-exposing jibe. Earlier, (this was cut out of the youtube clip here, I've seen a fuller version that has it), Capp says to Fennon "It's true Beatles imitations aren't has hot as they used to be, (pause) but ....."

He keeps calling Yoko "Madame Nhu," pointedly. It's interesting that four years later, Fennon-Ono began a media campign for "Nutopia." Also eerie and maybe relevant that Madame Nhu's husband, dictator Diem, had been shot, assassinated, in a US-backed coup in South Vietnam in the early '60s. Yoko Ono's father EISUKE ONO had been a major war criminal in Nazi-Japan-occupied Vietnam 1940-45. He was interned after the war as a war crminal and held responsible with other Japane colonial rulers of Vietnam for over a million deaths of Vietnamese civilians. From the wikipedia page for "Imagine"---

Nutopia The Country of Peace

Nutopia is a conceptual country created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono on April 1st 1973. This nation was supposed to live up to the standards set by the song "Imagine".

In the official declaration of Nutopia, it is stated that it

"has no land, no boundaries, no passports, only people. Nutopia has no laws other than cosmic. All people of Nutopia are ambassadors of the country. Citizenship of the country can be obtained by declaration of your awareness of Nutopia." The flag of Nutopia has only one colour: white. Some criticized this association with surrender, but Lennon & Ono defended that association, saying that only through surrender and compromise can peace be achieved. U2 later adopted the Nutopian flag as a part of their live performance of the political songs from their third album, War, an example of this can be seen on the video version of U2's live album Under a Blood Red Sky, during the famous performance of their song "Sunday Bloody Sunday", which, interestingly, shares the same title as a song from Lennon's album Some Time in New York City.

The seal of Nutopia is a picture of the marine animal of the same name, a seal. The "Nutopian International Anthem" was included on John Lennon's album Mind Games, and consisted of a few seconds of silence.

A plaque engraved with the words "NUTOPIAN EMBASSY" was duly installed at their home at the Dakota. It is believed that the whole affair was a jibe at Lennon's ongoing immigration troubles, as he and Ono tried to move to the United States. (Ono already had a Resident Alien "green card" through her previous husband, Tony Cox. Lennon had been denied permanent residence status.)

In 2006 a Nutopia website[8] was created by Lions Gate Entertainment,[9] the producers of the documentary The U.S. Versus John Lennon.
